Simulation of Mixing and Polymerization in 3D-Printed Tubular Reactors including SMX-Mixing Elements
The progress within the field of additive manufacturing has eased the fabrication of new reactor geometries significantly. It is possible to design and print a reactor of tailored shape and size at comparatively low costs and short time. Printing and testing all sensible reactor designs ... Read More
Concentration polarization effects in a single pass membrane module for continuous diafiltration
Concentration polarization (CP) is a common problem in membrane filtration. It is caused by the convective transport of large molecules towards the membrane surface, however while the solvent passes the membrane as permeate, the molecules are retained and accumulate at the membrane ... Read More
Design of a trailing shield for arc welding and arc additive manufacturing processes
Manufacturing of metal component in industry involves many kind of processes where materials experience high temperature and changes of state. Then, oxidation may become a significant topic regarding industrial requirement and specification. This issue is well-known in welding ... Read More
A first approximation to the modeling of vapor plume evolution in laser welding
A quantification of spatial and temporal evolution of laser-induced plume would enhance the comprehension of high speed imaging results and allow optimizing the acquisition conditions for the emission spectroscopy. What temperature and concentrations of the evaporating species are ... Read More
Membrane Electrode Assembly for CO2 Electroreduction: Influence of Flow Channel Design
Electrochemical reduction of CO2 to value added chemicals is a promising strategy to mitigate its emission from atmosphere and close the carbon cycle. Although the knowledge on designing electrocatalysts for CO2 electroreduction exists, challenges are associated with developing CO2 ... Read More
Numerical simulation of non-aqueous phase liquids imbibition in unconsolidated porous media
A three-dimensional multiphase laboratory experiment was simulated with a view to evaluating the subsurface distribution of non-aqueous phase liquids (NAPL). The experiment was set-up to reconstruct the migration of hydrocarbon-leaks, occurring in the earth´s surface, predominantly ... Read More
Evaluating Goethite-Laterite Fixed-bed Adsorbent of Hexavalent Chromium [Cr (VI)] in Mine Wastewater
The presence of hexavalent chromium in dangerous concentrations in mine wastewater poses a hazard to the environment and emphasizes the development of technology in wastewater treatment is important. This study focused on the simulation of a fixed-bed adsorption column of soil and water ... Read More
Finite element modelling of three-phase non-isothermal flow in heavy oil reservoirs- case study SAGD
Thermal enhanced oil recovery methods form the majority of the enhanced oil recovery projects worldwide. Among the thermal methods, steam injection is the most effective and most applied process in petroleum industry. The main mechanism of the steam injection method is the reduction of ... Read More
Simulation/Validation of Pollutant Transport in Rivers Using COMSOL Multiphysics®
Our atmosphere, land, and water are being continuously besieged by pollutants caused by such events as heavy metals leaching from mine tailing ponds, chemical spills from railroad and truck tanker accidents, and petroleum pipeline failures, to name just a few. These environmental ... Read More
Modelling of cavity hydrogen pressure for a cast steel
It has been well proved that hydrogen represents a harmful element for steels because it can easily embrittle them. This phenomenon is known as Hydrogen Embrittelement (H.E.) and it leads to a serious decrease in mechanical properties especially loss of ductility. The studied material is ... Read More
